1 Player Development Initiative Washington Youth Soccer has adopted the US Soccer Player Development Initiatives LWYSA Using Fall 2017 ***Items Amended for LWYSA

2 s In addition to the Law Changes for 2018, US Soccer has put forward specific Player Development Initiatives (PDI) to improve the playing environment for 6-12 year olds Washington Youth Soccer has adopted the US Soccer Player Development Initiatives Implemented the following initiatives with immediate effect: Concussion Initiative (Detailed Here) Small Sided Games (Detailed Here)

3 s Concussion Initiative Objectives Provide an age appropriate environment -Standards align with physiological needs of players based on year of birth Uniformity across the country and across membership -Similar to the outcomes listed for birth year registration, having consistent standards allows U.S. Soccer, and the programs of our members, to provide more meaningful messaging and education for parents, players, coaches and referees

4 s Concussion Initiative Per U.S. Soccer s Concussion Initiative, if a player is suspected to have a head injury the referee* is instructed to stop play to allow for treatment/evaluation If the player leaves the field of play for additional evaluation, a substitution can be made in that moment The player with the suspected head injury may not return to the game unless a Health Care Professional (HCP) or Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) has cleared the player * Since there is no referee in 4v4, this responsibility falls to the coaches and parents

5 s Concussion Initiative Any coach or parent insisting on returning the player to the game without approved clearance will result in the referee* ending the game *In consideration of Washington s Lystedt Law, the referee is instructed to NOT permit players to return unless documentation of clearance is provided OR available rules of competition provide a clear guidance on what documentation of clearance procedure must be followed to take all responsibility of return to play off of the referee. *Since there is no referee in 4v4, this responsibility falls to the coaches and parents involved

6 s Concussion Initiative Deliberate heading is NOT allowed in U6, U7, U8, U9, U10, or U11 games Deliberate heading is permitted ONLY in U12 and above Age Group Infringement Restart Location Notes 4 vs. 4 Deliberate Heading Indirect Free Kick Spot of foul 4 vs. 4 does not have a goal area, so location is always spot of the foul 7 vs. 7 Deliberate Heading Indirect Free Kick Spot of Foul 9 vs. 9 (U11 Only) Deliberate Heading Indirect Free Kick Spot of Foul If infringement occurs in the goal area by defending team, restart on the goal area line parallel to the goal line nearest point to where it occurred.

14 Standards of Play 7 vs. 7 Build Out Line The build out line promotes playing the ball out of the back in a less pressured setting When the goalkeeper has the ball in his or her hands during play from the opponent, the opposing team must move behind the build out line until the ball is put into play Once the opposing team is behind the build out line, the goalkeeper can pass, throw or roll the ball into play (punts and drop kicks are not allowed) After the ball is put into play by the goalkeeper, the opposing team can cross the build out line and play resumes as normal The opposing team must also move behind the build out line during a goal kick until the ball is put into play

15 Standards of Play 7 vs. 7 Build Out Line If a goalkeeper punts or drop kicks the ball, an indirect free kick should be awarded to the opposing team from the spot of the offense If the punt or drop kick occurs within the goal area, the indirect free kick should be taken on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the nearest point to where the infringement occurred

16 Standards of Play 7 vs. 7 Build Out Line The build out line will also be used to denote where offside offenses can be called Players cannot be penalized for an offside offense between the halfway line and the build out line Players can be penalized for an offside offense between the build out line and goal line

17 Standards of Play 7 vs. 7 Build Out Line Ideally, the goalkeeper will wait to put the ball into play once all opponents are past the build out line However, the goalkeeper can put the ball into play sooner but he or she does so accepting the positioning of the opponents and the consequences of how play resumes

18 Standards of Play 7 vs. 7 Build Out Line To support the intent of the development rule, coaches and referees should be mindful of any intentional delays being caused by opponents not retreating in a timely manner or encroaching over the build out line prior to the ball being put into play Coaches are responsible for addressing these types of issues with their players Referees can manage the situation with misconduct if deemed appropriate Referees should be flexible when enforcing the 6 second rule and counting the time of possession should only begin when all opponents have moved behind the build out line

19 Standards of Play 7 vs. 7 Law 1 Field of Play yards (length) yards (width) Modified Laws of the Game - Goals should be no larger than 6.5 feet (height) x 18.5 feet (width) - A 6.5 feet (height) x 12 feet (width) goal is recommended based on the age and ability of the players - Diagram contains recommended field markings and dimensions - Build out lines should be equidistant between the penalty area line and halfway line
